In Memoriam Thomas Glenn Hollandsworth May i6, 1930 — June 19, 1945 Fifteen years — a span of life very short but crowded with interests, activities and kindness. The Graduating Class of ’47, of which Glenn was a member, hold fondest memories of their acquaint- ances and comradeship with him as a fellow classmate and friend. As a sophomore, he played center on the basketball team, was an active member of the Athenian Literary Society and of the Glee Club. Glenn was admired by all who knew him for his kindliness of manner and for his unquestioned faith in the potentialities of youth. youth to whom was given So much of earth, so much of Heaven.

Mascots As a symbol of achievement and success, the Senior Class of ’47 adopted these mascots. Becky Owens, age five, is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Owens, of Riverside Drive. She has blonde hair and blue eyes and weighs fifty-three pounds. Two of her favorite pas- times are munching potato chips and coloring pictures, her favorite colors being yellow and red. Becky likes to sing, her favorite song be- ing “No Can Do” — no wonder that gleam in her eyes makes the little fellows wonder, but she just shakes her head and says — “No Can Do.” Tommy Scarborough, age five, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Scarborough, of Trent Hill. He has dark hair and brown eyes and weighs forty-seven pounds. Two of his favorite hobbies are playing with his pets — a rabbit and a dog, and listening to the reading of nursery rhymes. Ice cream is his favorite dish. He is also fond of music, his favorite song being “Birdie with the Yellow Bill.” He knows a cute little rhyme about “Ouuie Gooie.” Y ' hy not ask him to say it sometime? [ 10 ]
